ABSTRACT

A display apparatus for a vehicle includes a display part installed at a front surface of a center fascia of the vehicle to display an image, a housing for supporting the display part, and a driving part for moving the housing in a upper side and a lower side direction with respect to the center fascia.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the benefit of priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2015-0000190, filed on Jan. 2, 2015 with the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a display apparatus for a vehicle, and a vehicle having the display apparatus, and more particularly, to a display apparatus mounted on a vehicle to display information to a passenger, and a vehicle having the same.

BACKGROUND

A vehicle may be provided, at a driver seat thereof, with a display apparatus that can display various pieces of information.

The display apparatus provides information about a path to a destination from an origin, and information about a current location of the vehicle. In addition, the display apparatus may playback music or video, receive terrestrial broadcasting signals or satellite broadcasting signals that are then displayed through a screen of the display apparatus, and provide information about the state of the vehicle or information for user convenience, such as weather and news.

The conventional display apparatus for a vehicle is provided with a single display installed at a center fascia thereof. Meanwhile, since various types of information are displayed by the display apparatus, and technologies of inputting information by touching a display part have been developed, a need for a large-scale display arises.

In recent years, a display apparatus having a dual display function has been developed to keep up with such a need. The display apparatus is provided at an upper side of a center fascia thereof with a display part used for navigation, and at a lower side of the center fascia thereof with a display part used for displaying images and music.

However, such a display structure displays designated information on each display part, so there is a limitation in displaying desired information for each state of the vehicle. In addition, the display structure is provided with displays at separated areas, respectively, which causes difficulty in representing information in a large-scaled screen.

Meanwhile, there is a display apparatus having a large-scaled display part that occupies most of the area of the center fascia. However, when navigation is displayed while driving, the navigation information may be displayed outside of a driver's vision, putting the driver at risk. In addition, the center fascia is short of space for installing other apparatuses except for the display apparatus, which causes difficulty in ensuring a space which is assigned a function having a higher priority (for example, a space in which an emergency lamp switch or an air conditioner switch is installed). In addition, this structure ends up causing a coarse interior, degrading the aesthetic quality of the vehicle interior.

Accordingly, there is a need for a technology removing the above constraints while displaying various types of information using a large-scaled screen.

In addition, the center panel 23 may provide a stop watch function, or may display the temperature of oil or the temperature of cooling water.

Meanwhile, a hard key or a physical key may be installed around the center panel 23. In this case, the center panel 23 may conceptually include an area on which a display panel is provided and a panel connecting the cluster 21 to the assistant seat display part 22.

Meanwhile, the center panel 23 may be formed as transparent. Accordingly, contents displayed on an area of the main display part 110 in which the center panel 23 overlaps the main display part 110 in a front and rear side direction are exposed to a passenger.

In addition, the center panel 23 and the area of the main display part 110, in which the center panel 23 overlaps the main display part 110 in a front and rear side direction, may be provided to display the same contents. Accordingly, the passenger may identify information that is continuously displayed over the upper display part 111, the center panel 23 and the lower display part 112.

Meanwhile, the center panel 23 may be an additional display part disposed between the cluster 21 and the assistant seat display part 22. In addition, the cluster 21 and the center panel 23 may be integrally formed with each other, or the assistant seat display part 22 and the center panel 23 may be integrally formed with each other.

In addition, the cluster 21, the center panel 23 and the assistant seat display part 22 may be integrally formed with each other. In this case, the integral forming may represent that a panel is provided in a unified structure, and respective display parts are provided on the panel, and may represent that a panel is provided in a unified structure and even the respective display parts are integrally formed with each other. When the display parts are integrally formed with each other, the cluster 21, the center panel 23 and the assistant seat display part 22 are distinguished based on the position in which the display parts are provided and the types of information represented by the display parts.

The main display part 110 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure may be provided to be moved in an upper side and lower side direction. For example, the main display part 110 may be slidably coupled to the center fascia 30. In addition, the main display part 110 may be coupled to the center fascia 30 through a lift structure, an arm structure or a link structure, so as to be movable in an upper side and lower side direction. In addition, the coupling method of the main display part is not limited thereto, and may be implemented in various methods for performing an up and down movement.

The following description will be made of an embodiment of the present disclosure including the main display part 110 and the center panel 23. However, the present disclosure may include an embodiment in which the center panel 23 is omitted or the center panel does not block the display area of the display part 110.

FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 illustrate a state in which the main display apparatus 100 performs a first operation. In this case, the first operation represents that the main display is moved downward.

In the first operation, the main display part 110 is not divided, and shown below the center panel 23. In this case, the main display part 110 is moved downward such that the main display part 110 has no area blocked by the center panel 23, or such that the main display part 110 is blocked by the center panel 23 but has no area exposed upward of the center panel 23. In the drawings, the main display part 110 is moved downward such that an upper end portion of the main display part 110 is blocked by the center panel 23.

By preventing the main display part 110 from being exposed upward of the center panel 23, the sightline of the passenger is prevented from being dispersed. Depending on situations, a part of an upper portion of the main display part 110 may be exposed upward of the center panel 23 to display some information. For example, the exposed part may provide a warning or a notification to a user by colors or flickering.

In addition, a part of an upper portion of the main display part 110 exposed upward of the center panel 23 may display no information. In this case, the exposed part represents a black screen, which does not disperse the sightline of the passenger.

The first operation state represents a state in which power is turned on but an engine is not started. In addition, the first operation state may represent a state in which the vehicle is in a stop state, for example, the driver puts a gear lever in a neutral position (N), or the drivers operates a brake for a predetermined period of time or above while keeping the gear lever in a driving position (D).

The first operation state requires a low level of attention for a driver to look forward of the vehicle. Accordingly, the first operation state may display detailed information that requires a driver's attention, and may provide a great amount of various types of information. In addition, in the first operation state, the driver has no difficulty in entering information by touching the main display part 110. Accordingly, the first operation may execute various functions that need a driver's input.

For example, in the first operation state, the main display part 110 positioned below the center panel 23 may display information about setting the vehicle, information about setting various media including audio and video, map information or private information about a user. In addition, the main display part 110 may display information by connecting to the internet or in association with a portable terminal of a passenger.

FIGS. 2 and 5 illustrate a state in which the main display apparatus 100 performs a second operation. In this case, the second operation may represent a state in which the main display part is moved upward.

In the second operation state, the main display part 110 is displayed by being divided by the center panel 23. In this case, a portion of the main display part 110 positioned above the center panel 23 is referred to as the upper display part 111 and a portion of the main display part 110 positioned below the center panel 23 is referred to as the lower display part 112 as described above.

The center panel 23 spatially divides the main display part 110, so that the upper display part 111 and the lower display part 112 display different information from each other. In addition, the upper display part 111 and the lower display part 112 are spaced apart from each other by a height of the center panel 23, thereby having a superior visual effect of separation.

The second operation state represents a state in which the vehicle is in while driving, for example, a driver puts a gear lever in a driving position (D), and operates an accelerator. In addition, such a state may include a driver putting a gear lever in a driving position (D), and operating a brake for a predetermined period of time or below.

The second operation state requires a high level of attention for a driver to look forward of the vehicle. Accordingly, required information for driving the vehicle is displayed on the upper display part 111. Since the upper display part 111 is disposed at a position which is the closest to the driver's forward sightline, so that required information is delivered without disturbing a running safety.

The upper display part 111 displays brief information that may be scanned with a glance, and simple and important information. For example, information about driving is displayed on the upper display part 111. For example, the upper display part 111 may display navigation information, or a notification indicator or a warning indicator while driving.

The lower display part 112 requires a line of sight longer than that required for the upper display part 111. However, the lower display part 112 has a screen larger than that of the upper display part 111, and thus the lower display part 112 displays information that may be displayed in the first operation state. In addition, the lower display part 112 may provide a screen in which a driver sets a driving condition or sets an air conditioning apparatus.

In addition, the lower display part 112 may display navigation information displayed on the upper display part 111 with more precision. For example, upon approaching a crossroads, a path displayed on the upper display part 111 may be insufficient for delivering precise information to a user. In this case, the lower display part 112 may display an enlarged map of the crossroads and a path for a destination, so that the driver is provided with precise information about the path.

In addition, in the second operation state, the driver has difficulty in entering information by touching the main display part 110, which may put the driver at risk. Accordingly, the driver may input a signal by using a gesture.

A driver having a medium build and/or size has difficulty in reaching the center fascia 30 while putting his/her back on the back of the seat even by stretching his/her hand. Accordingly, when a touch input is used, in order to manipulate the main display part 110 using a touch input, the driver needs to tilt his/her torso forward while driving. This prevents a safe driving. However, if the driver inputs an operation signal by using a gesture, the driver may naturally operate the main display part 110 with his/her back located on the back of the seat.

In addition, when a touch input is used, in order to manipulate the main display part 110 using a touch input, the driver needs to gaze at the main display part 110 while driving until a desired icon is touched. This causes the driver to spend a long time without looking forward, thereby decreasing safe driving. However, if the driver inputs an operation signal by using a gesture, the driver may input signals while looking forward.

A gesture recognition unit 61 for operating the main display part 110 may be provided below the center fascia 30 or at the gear box 40. The position below the center fascia 30 or the position of the gear box 40 corresponds to a position at which a driver is able to input a gesture signal using a natural hand motion while looking forward. Meanwhile, a gesture recognition unit 62 for operating the assistant seat display part 22 may be provided below the assistant seat display part 22.

In addition, the gesture recognition unit 61 for operating the main display part 110 may be provided to be exposed in a state in which the main display part 110 is moved upward, and may be provided to be blocked in a state in which the main display part 110 is moved downward.

In the first operation state, the driver does not need to look forward, so a desired command is sufficiently input only by a touch input. However, in the second operation state, the driver looks forward, so a gesture input is needed. For this reason, the gesture recognition unit 61 is provided to be exposed in a state in which the main display part 110 is moved upward.

Meanwhile, a region of the gesture recognition unit 61, which is exposed when the main display part 110 is moved upward, may be provided to have various functions. For example, the region is provided with an accommodation space, or with a slot to which a mobile device is connected, or a slot into which a memory card, such as a SD card or a media, such as CD is inserted.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, a change in angle of the main display apparatus 100 will be described. FIG. 7 is a side view illustrating the direction of a driver's sightline and an angular extent of a scene displayed by a display part when a main display apparatus performs a first operation, and FIG. 8 is a side view illustrating the direction of a driver's sightline and an angular extent of a scene displayed by a display part when the main display apparatus performs a second operation.

The main display part 110 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a different angle of view between the first operation and the second operation. In particular, an angle of a surface of the main display part 110 with respect to a vertical direction is varied. The angle of view represents an angle formed between a line of sight viewed by a driver and a plane of the main display part 110.

If the angle of view deviates outside a predetermined range, definition and brightness, that is, a visibility may be lowered. Accordingly, the direction of the line of sight of a user and the direction of the plane of the main display part 110 need to be provided to be kept within predetermined allowable angular range. However, when the direction of the line of sight is perpendicular to the direction of the plane of the main display part 110, light reflected from the main display part 110 causes the visibility to be lowered. Accordingly, the main display part 110 is disposed to have an angle of view within a predetermined range.

The main display part 110 in the second operation state is provided to stand further upright than when in the first operation state. That is, the main display part 110 in the first operation is positioned further tilted down compared to in the second operation state.

In the first operation state, the driver does not need to look forward. Accordingly, the line of sight of the driver tends to be oriented downward. Accordingly, even if the degree of uprightness of the main disport 110 is small, (almost lying down horizontally), the angle of view of the driver does not deviate from the reference range.

However, in the second operation state, the driver, who has been looking forward, shifts the line of sight downward without bowing the driver's head downward to look at the upper display part 111. Accordingly, only when the degree of upright of the main display part 110 is great, the visibility of the upper display part 111 is secured. However, it should be understood that if the upper display part 111 is disposed in a vertical position, the visibility is lowered as described above.

Meanwhile, the first operation state requires a great number of touch inputs performed by the driver. Accordingly, the main display part 110 needs to be disposed at an angle in which the wrist has less of a burden. When the main display part 110 is disposed lying down, the wrist has less of a burden. However, the further the main display part 110 is lying down, the further the user's head needs to be bowed, which causes a burden on the user's neck. Accordingly, the main display apart 110 should be disposed at an angle at which both of the neck and the head of the user experience less of a burden.

In addition, when compared to the second operation state, in the first operation state, the main display part 110 is positioned adjacent to the driver, so that a reach zone is easily ensured.

The main display apparatus 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, in a short stop state, in a stop state or in a parked state, is disposed tilted at an angle in which the user performs an easy touch input and a superior visibility is ensured even with the user's neck slightly bowed downward. In addition, the main display part 110 may be tilted to maintain a predetermined angle of view with respect to a direction of forward sightline. That is, the inclination of the main display part 110 may be adjusted according to the condition of the vehicle.

Hereinafter, a structure of the main display apparatus 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure is described.

FIGS. 9 and 10 are diagrams illustrating a main display apparatus in operation in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which FIG. 9 is a cross sectional view illustrating a main display apparatus in a first operation, and FIG. 10 is a cross sectional view illustrating a main display apparatus in a second operation. FIG. 11 is a perspective view illustrating a main display apparatus shown from a rear.

The main display apparatus 100 may include the main display part 110, a housing 141 supporting the main display part 110, a driving part 130 moving the housing in an upper side and lower side direction, and a connection part 142 connecting the housing 141 to the driving part 130.

The main display apparatus 100 is installed on the center fascia 30. Although the main display apparatus 100 is illustrated as including the main display part 110 that is elongated in a height direction on the drawing, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the main display apparatus 100 may include the main display part 110 that is elongated in a width direction along the shape of the center fascia 30.

The main display part 110 may be provided to perform a touch input while displaying an image. For example, the main display part 110 may include a touch panel.

The main display part 110 may be provided to provide a large-scaled screen. Accordingly, a bezel between an edge of the main display part 110 and an edge of the housing 141 is provided to be small. Different from the drawing, a manipulating apparatus, such as a button or a knob, may be provided at a periphery of the main display part 110. Accordingly, a user may input a signal by touching the main display part 110 and also may input a signal by pressing or rotating the manipulating apparatus.

Meanwhile, the main display part 110 is not limited to a large-scaled display, and may be applied to various sized displays. That is, the main display part 110 may be applied to a display of 7 inches or 8 inches in general use.

The housing 141 may be slidably coupled to the center fascia 30. For example, the housing 141 may move up and down while having a rear surface thereof in contact with the surface of the center fascia 30. However, the housing 141 may move up and down while spaced apart from the center fascia 30 by a predetermined distance or distances.

The rear surface of the housing 141 may include a curved surface that bulges. In addition, the center fascia 30 may include a curved surface that is recessed to correspond to the shape of the rear surface of the housing 141. In this case, the curved surface formed on the housing 141 may be provided in an arc shape having a constant curvature.

Since the housing 141 moves along the curved shape surface of the center fascia 30, an angle of the main display part 110 with respect to the upper side and lower side direction (the degree of uprightness) may vary. In the drawings, the main display part 110 is illustrated as having an angle thereof with respect to the vertical direction that deceases as the housing 141 moves upward.

Meanwhile, in the drawings, the main display part 110 is illustrated as having the angle thereof gradually changing, but according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the angle may be rapidly changed. For example, the main display part 110 having been kept at an angle corresponding to the first operation state while moving upward may be rapidly changed to an angle corresponding to the second operation state, when entering the second operation state. Conversely, the angle of the main display part 110 may be changed to an angle corresponding to the second operation state while the main display apparatus 100 is moving upward, and the main display part 110 keeping the changed angle is moved upward to enter the second operation state.

The driving part 130 operates to move the housing 141 up and down. For example, the driving part 130 may convert a rotational motion to a translation motion.

The driving part 130 may include a motor 131, a rotating shaft 134 rotated by a rotary force of the motor 131, and a nut member 135 moved up and down according to a rotation of the rotating shaft 134.

In addition, the driving part 130 may further include a deceleration part 132 that may adjust a ratio of a rotating speed of the motor 131 and a rotating speed of the rotating shaft 134. For example, as for the motor 131 with a low rotating speed and a great force (a great torque), the deceleration part 132 that has a low deceleration ratio may be used to increase the speed of the nut member 135 performing translation. Accordingly, the main display part 110 may be changed between the first operation state and the second operation state in a rapid fashion. Conversely, as for the motor 131 with a high rotating speed and a small force (a small torque), the deceleration part 132 that has a high deceleration ratio is used to increase a force applied to the nut member 135. Accordingly, a force sufficiently great to move the main display part 110 up and down is provided even if the weight of the main display part 110 is increased when the screen is enlarged.

In addition, the user may adjust the moving speed of the main display part 110 by changing the deceleration ratio of the deceleration part 132.

In addition, a coupler 133 may be interposed between the motor 131 or the deceleration part 132 and the rotating shaft 134 of the driving part 130 to transfer a rotation motion. The coupler 133 may be implemented using a generally known product, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The rotating shaft 134 may be coupled to the nut member 135 through a ball screw coupling scheme. That is, a screw thread is formed on an outer surface of the rotating shaft 134, and a screw thread corresponding to the screw thread of the rotating shaft 134 is formed at an inner surface of the nut member 135. In addition, a plurality of balls are interposed between the rotating shaft 134 and the nut member 135 so that friction between the rotating shaft 134 and the nut member 135 is reduced and a force is prevented from being lost while transmitted. In addition, the nut member 135 is prevented from being rotated, so as to be moved up and down according to rotation of the rotating shaft 134.

In addition, the driving part 130 may be fixed to a fixing panel 70 provided inside the center fascia 30 by a support part 137 including a first support part 137 a, a second support part 137 b and a third support part 137 c. The support 137 (137 a, 137 b and 137 c) may be fixed to the fixing panel 70 at one side thereof, and configured to support the driving part 130 at the other side thereof. For example, the motor 131 and the deceleration part 132 are supported by the first support part 137 a, and both ends of the rotating shaft 134 are supported by the second support part 137 b and the third support part 137 c. In this case, the coupler 133 may be interposed between the first support part 137 a and the second support part 137 b.

In addition, the driving part 130 may further include a connection block 136 that is coupled to the connection part 142. One side of the connection part 142 is coupled to the housing 141, and the other side of the connection part 142 is coupled to the connection block 136. That is, the housing 141 may be coupled to the driving part 130 via the connection part 142 and the connection block 136, and may be moved according to an operation of the driving part 130.

In addition, the connection block 136 is fixed to an outer side of the nut member 135, to prevent the nut member 135 from being rotated. For example, the connection block 136 is integrally fixed to the nut member 135, and has one surface that faces the fixing panel 70. Accordingly, the nut member 135 is prevented from being rotated together with the rotating shaft 134, so that the nut member 135 performs up and down movement.

Meanwhile, the nut member 135 and the connection block 136 are integrally formed with each other. In addition, the connection part 142 may be coupled to the nut member 135.

Although the rotating shaft 134 and the nut member 135 have been illustrated as being coupled to each other through a ball screw coupling scheme as an example of moving the housing 141 up and down according to operation of the motor 131, the coupling method is not limited thereto. Accordingly, the housing 141 may be moved by using a worm and a worm gear, or using a spline.

The converting of the rotational motion to the up and down motion is illustrated as an example of moving the housing 141 up and down. Accordingly, the housing 141 may be moved in various driving methods, such as using a cylinder or a magnetic force.

Referring to FIG. 11, a guide rail 144 implemented as a protrusion or a groove may be formed on the rear surface of the housing 141. Although not shown, a groove or protrusion corresponding to the guide rail 144 may be formed on one surface of the center fascia 30. The guide rail 144 may guide up and down movement of the housing 141.

Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, the housing 141 may have a distance thereof with respect to the driving part 130 varied while moving up and down. In addition, the housing 141 may have a direction thereof with respect to the driving part 130 varied while moving up and down. For example, when the rear surface of the housing 141 is provided in an arc shape having a convex curve, an angle formed between a front surface of the main display part 110 and the driving part 130 is changed while the housing 141 moves on the one surface of the center fascia 30.

For example, one side of the connection part 142 is fixed to the housing 141, and the other side of the connection part 142 is provided to be slidable and tiltable with respect to the connection block 136. In addition, the connection part 142 has a length thereof adjustable, and a joint is provided at the connection part 142 so as to perform tilting. In addition, the other side of the connection part 142 is provided to be slidable with respect to the connection block 136, and the one side of the connection part 142 is hingedly coupled to the housing 141.

FIG. 12 is a perspective view illustrating a structure in which the housing 141 is tiltably connected.

Referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, the connection part 142 may include a plate 142 a that is coupled to the housing 141 and a plurality of connection bars 142 b that are protruded from the plate 142 a.

For example, the plate 142 a is provided in the form of a panel, and may be supported by being inserted into the housing 141. The plate 142 a causes an area coupled to the housing 141 to be enlarged, so that the housing 141 is stably supported. In addition, the plate 142 a has a small thickness, so that the main display part 110 is provided in a slim structure.

The connection bar 142 b is provided in the form of a cylinder, and provided in a pair. The connection bar 142 b may be protruded to the outside of the housing 141 by passing through a connection part insertion hole 143 of the housing 141. In addition, the connection bar 142 b may be coupled to the connection block 136 while interposing the nut member 135 therebetween. The connection bar 142 b may be inserted into a hole 136 a formed through the connection block 136, and provided to be slidable with respect to the connection block 136, allowing a distance between the housing 141 and the driving part 130 to be varied.

In addition, the connection bar 142 b is tiltably coupled to the connection block 136. For example, an inner diameter of the hole 136 a formed through the connection block 136 is greater than an outer diameter of the connection bar 142 b. In addition, the hole 136 a formed through the connection block 136 may be formed in an elongation hole.

The main display apparatus 100 may further include a visor 120 that is protruded forward of an upper portion of the main display part 110 (a direction toward the driver seat 10, that is, toward a rear of the vehicle to reduce glare on the main display part 110). The visor 120 may be integrally formed with the housing 141, and connected to an upper end of the housing 141. In addition, the visor 120 may be detachably coupled to the housing 141.

Referring to FIGS. 13 and 14, a display apparatus in accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure is described. FIG. 13 is a plan view illustrating a display apparatus for a vehicle in the first operation in accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 14 is a plan view illustrating a second operation of a display apparatus for a vehicle in the second operation in accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure.

The center panel 23 in accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure is provided to move up and down, and the center panel 23 is slidably provided. FIGS. 13 and 14 illustrate an operation of the center panel 23 that is provided to move along rails 21 a and 22 a formed on the cluster 21 and the assistant seat display part 22, respectively. The center panel 23 may be separated from the cluster 21 or the assistant display part 22, and independently installed on the center fascia 30. In this case, the center panel 23 may move up and down along a rail formed on the center fascia 30.

In addition, the center panel 23 may move up and down using various methods, rather than the sliding method. For example, the center panel 23 may be supported by an arm member or a link member installed on the center fascia 30, and moved up and down according to deformation of the arm member or the link member. In addition, the center panel 23 may adjust a display area of the main display part 110 by being folded or flipped. The method of moving the center panel 23 is not limited thereto, and may be implemented through various structures.

The center panel 23 may be moved according to a motion of moving hands up or down with the hand folded together. In addition, the center panel 23 may be automatically moved according to a driving part such as the motor 131. In addition, the center panel 23 may be manually operated or automatically operated depending on a user's selection.

Referring to FIG. 13, the center panel 23 may be moved upward when the main display apparatus 100 is in the first operation state. The main display part 110 is moved downward and the center panel 23 is moved upward, so that a display area of the main display part 110 exposed downward of the center panel 23 is enlarged.

Referring to FIG. 14, the center panel 23 may be moved downward when the main display apparatus 100 is in the second operation state. The main display part 110 is moved upward and the center panel 23 is moved downward, so that a display area of the main display part 110 exposed upward of the center panel 23, that is, the upper display part 111, is enlarged.

Although the main display part 110 has been illustrated as moving upward or downward depending on whether the vehicle is in a driving state or in a stop state, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, even if the main display part 110 is not moved, the center panel 23 may be moved up and down to adjust the exposed display area of the main display part 110. That is, even in a state in which the main display part 110 is fixed to the center fascia 30, the size of the display area of the main display part 110 or the display area is divided by adjusting the position of the center panel 25 up and down.

For example, the center panel 23 may be moved upward when the vehicle is in a short stop state, a parked stated, or a stop state. Accordingly, the display area of the main display part 110 exposed downward of the center panel 23 may be enlarged.

In addition, the center panel 23 may be moved downward when the vehicle is in a driving state. Accordingly, the display area of the main display part 110 exposed upward of the center panel 23, that is, the upper display part 111, may be enlarged.

Meanwhile, the display apparatus in accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure may display content on the main display part 110 to be varied according to the operation of the center panel 23. For example, when the center panel 23 is moved upward, the main display part 110 may be set to display entertainment content, such as video or audio. In addition, when the center panel 23 is moved downward, the upper display part 111 may display navigation information and the lower display part 112 may display a screen provided for changing settings of the vehicle, for example, settings of an air conditioning apparatus.

In addition, when the center panel 23 is moved upward and the main display part 110 is divided by the center panel 23, content displayed on the main display part 110 may be varied according to an operation of the center panel 23. For example, in a state in which the center panel 23 is moved upward, the upper display part 111 is set to replay audio content. When the center panel 23 is moved downward, the upper display part 111 may be set to display navigation content.

The center panel 23 may be provided with a center display part. The center display part may display a content that is varied according to an operation of the center panel 23. For example, the center display part may be set to display media currently playing when the center panel 23 is moved upward, and set to display an emergency lamp and a watch or clock when the center panel 23 is moved downward.

In addition, the center panel 23 may be provided with a hard key or a physical key. The hard key or the physical key may be provided to serve as a feature key. For example, the hard key or the physical key may turn on/off an emergency lamp or operate an air conditioning apparatus.

Meanwhile, the hard key or the physical key provided on the center panel 23 may perform a function that is varied according to an operation of the center panel 23. For example, the hard key or the physical key provided on the center panel 23 may be set to perform a function related to replaying media when the center panel 23 is moved upward. The hard key or the physical key provided on the center panel 23 may be set to perform a function related to turn on/off an emergency lamp or operate an air conditioning apparatus when the center panel 23 is moved downward.

As is apparent from the above, the display apparatus for a vehicle and a vehicle having the display apparatus can provide a large-scaled screen using a display part that is provided at a front surface of a center fascia so as to be movable in a upper side and lower side direction, display different information depending on each state of the display that is distinguished into a driving state and a stop state of the vehicle, and flexibly display desired information at a position that is suitable for easy input or superior visibility depending on the state of the vehicle.

In addition, in a stop state of the vehicle, a large-scaled screen is provided and a reach zone is ensured, facilitating a touch input, and in a driving state of the vehicle, the display part is disposed adjacent to a driver's forward sightline, contributing to a safe driving.

In addition, the center panel is provided to traverse sideways the main display part mounted on the center fascia, so that a function or control having a high priority can be displayed.

In addition, by being coupled to the center panel, a single display part is visually distinguished into an upper portion and a lower portion, and each divided portion can display different information, enhancing the convenience of use.
